I think that it will be impossible to fit everything found in the dialogs into the sidebar and the best we can do is add as many features that are used on a regular basis to it. Taking the character section of the properties panel as an example, you can only fit another 4 small icons in it and maintain an acceptable amount of white space. And i can easily name a few icons that should be added to the section that were part of my toolbar proposal - double underline, outline, overline, embossed. I guess group buttons will come in handy here so that the space doesnt get to cramped, but even with these few additions from the character dialog's font effects tab, there are still settings in the font, position, and borders tabs that will be missing from this section. > Also, white space is a good thing -- it visually separates elements and > brings order. I dont disagree with this point that spacing is a good thing, the point was that spacing would still be there with large icons. (In reply to comment #2) > LibreOffice should work in small screens as well (such as netbooks). Users with limited screen sizes like netbooks of 1024x600 or even old 4:3 resolutions like 1024x768, will likely not use the sidebar because it take up to much space. And with more things going to be added to the properties panel, like the style drop down menu, this makes it less likely they will use it as they would constantly need to scroll up and down just to get the basic functionality found in the properties panel. Will attach a mockup of how the panel looks on my son's netbook running Linux Mint. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
